[External_Sender] Proposed License Amendment Request, Nuclear Fuel Services, Docket No.70-143 Date:
Monday, January 23, 2023 8:08:34 AM Hon. Paul Bollwerk, Hon. William Froehlich, Hon. Sue Abreau, Judges Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Rockville, MD Via email only tohearing.docket@nrc.gov,paul.bollwerk@nrc.gov,william.froehlich@nrc.gov,sue.abreu@nrc.gov RE: Proposed License Amendment Request, Nuclear Fuel Services, Docket No.70-143 Honorable ASLB Judges:
I am writing to object to the Board's failure to provide clear instructions as to how non-parties to this license amendment proceeding are allowed to provide comments to the Board. The August 31, 2022 Federal Register notice referred non-parties to an ADAMS document which was not hyperlinked, and the notice contained zero explanation that persons would be allowed to provide public comments to the Board at the time of the December 12, 2022 hearing.
NRC regulations at 10 CFR § 2.315(a) state, "A person who is not a party... may, in the discretion of the presiding officer, be permitted to make a limited appearance by making an oral or written statement of his or her position on the issues at any session of the hearing or any prehearing conference within the limits and on the conditions fixed by the presiding officer." This was not done with regard to the Nuclear Fuel Services prehearing on December 12. I thus object and request that the Board place my below comments into the record of this proceeding and be deemed properly submitted pursuant to 10 CFR§ 2.315(a).
Humanity is threatened by total annihilation if nuclear weapons are used by the U.S. The nonsense being circulated that a nuclear war could be "limited" or "survivable" is ominous. As a student of history and a grandmother I have listened to those who lived through nuclear attacks on Japan at the end of WWII. Those bombs had a fraction of the destructive power of modern nuclear weapons. The last thingthe world needs is more nuclear weapons, or a new facility to produce bomb grade uranium. The public should be afforded an opportunity to weigh in on this decision which may have implications for the survival of most life forms on the planet.
